MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 561 The Hicks Legion
Chapter 561 The Hicks Legion
"... What the **** are these Breot Mountain monkeys doing, why aren't they leaving today?" Baron Huntrick was very upset and would have sent the Breot cannon fodder to London for a few more days. War Yorkshire. The mission was handed over to the Solem Standing Army. After this victory over the overseas dominion of the Kingdom of Ovilas, he will be rewarded for his merit. He has no credit or hard work, maybe he can be promoted to the first rank.
Everything was going smoothly, but when Wang Jing Saint Hiprian was outside, the original reward given by His Majesty King Mykid III to the Mountain Legion of the Kingdom of Breot seemed to have changed, the cash reward was gone, and the sumptuous meal It's gone. Each soldier of the Bleot Mountain Corps has only two glasses of ale and a pound of bacon that has been hard for a long time. As a result, morale plummeted. After leaving Wang Jing, the speed suddenly slowed down, and it took three days to reach Dartmouth County. Now he is making excuses to stay still ...
"I saw the cavalry of the reconnaissance battalion out of the camp this morning. I asked where the lieutenant who was guarding the battalion gate was going? The lieutenant said that they probably wanted to go out and buy some fresh meat. Hehe, it was so funny, we His Majesty even rewarded these mountain monkeys with bacon stored more than 20 years ago. These mountain monkeys don't have such good teeth to move the bacon ... "Another Hicks reserve officer opened Just kidding, hoping to make the baron happier, these ten people are the younger brother of the baron huntrich.
There was also a smile on Baron Hunter's face, and he didn't think it was wrong for McKid III to cut back on the rewards given to these Breot Mountain monkeys. But the aggressive look of these mountain monkeys after they got the hard bacon jerky was ridiculous. He saw with his own eyes a soldier trying to bite on a bacon jerky, and immediately broke a big tooth. Whenever I think of this scene, Baron Huntlick always laughs unconsciously.
"I heard that these two Breot Mountain monkeys are trying their best to deal with this dried bacon, soaked in water and fire is useless, and those chefs even cut two kitchen knives. So they want to eat meat. This is understandable. Yes, after all, black bread will dry out every day. "Another local official told the truth. Although the Kingdom of Hicks is responsible for the supply of grass and grass for this Breote Mountain Corps, the bread and dried fruit are really delivered, and the meat is very small. Even the Hicks officials they escorted must send themselves to follow Go buy food and come back.
"At noon, we went to the General Baker and told him that the logistics will only be normal when we get to the destination, and ensure that their meals are the same as the standing legions of our kingdom. Now we are two local counties away from the front line. These mountain monkeys are sent over, we can go back after completing our mission, and we do n’t need to suffer with these mountain monkeys anymore. ”Baron Huntrick made a decision, but in any case, they must get the mountain monkeys on the road as soon as possible. Procrastination ...
"My lord, General Baker's lieutenant came to you just now, and said that General Baker invited everyone to eat roast lamb at noon ..." Baron Huntrick's personally reported into the account.
Well, Baron Huntrick still admits that Baker, the legion leader of the Breote Mountain Monkey Corps, is a very good aristocratic general, who is knowledgeable and interesting, and most importantly who is very bold and wealthy. This way, nearly half a month, General Baker They have feasted several of them, Hicks officials. Talking about Fenghuaxueyue is a good match, but unfortunately he is a Breot, otherwise Baron Huntrick will have a good relationship with him ...
At noon, the smell of roast lamb was permeated throughout the camp. As Baron Huntrick and his party walked towards the big tent, they suddenly discovered that these Breot Mountain monkeys were all eating roast sheep. He looked carefully, almost a squadron assigned a roast sheep, which is really a big deal. Because this Bryot Mountain Corps has a total of more than 70,000 people, a squadron of 50 people and a roast sheep, at least 1,500 sheep, the purchase cost is a lot of money.
There are two grills in front of the big tent. Two grilled lambs are standing on top of each other. The soldier responsible for roasting the sheep is holding a large copper basin and brushing the seasoning on the sheep. The Hicks, Baron Huntlick, who smelled the scent, suddenly had an appetite, and he politely took a silver plate from the table next to him. The soldier who was looking for roast sheep pointed at his favorite place and cut the roasted lamb Come down.
"It tastes good." Baron Huntlick sneered at the lamb in his mouth while admiring General Baker sitting in the big tent: "I didn't expect you could get so many sheep, just let these soldiers eat Roasted lamb is too wasteful. In fact, you don't need to raise morale with roasted lamb. It is good to give them a mouthful of sheep soup. "
For Baron Huntrick, soldiers were cannon fodder in his eyes, and it would be a waste of time to go to the battlefield to send dead people to enjoy roast sheep. Being able to fill their stomachs normally is the greatest grace to them, and there is no need to waste money to meet the requirements of soldiers to eat meat. If it was him, he would send a sheep in a battalion, add more water, and burn the sheep's soup for the soldiers to eat black bread ...
General Baker raised his wine glass with a smile and sipped: "Good luck, the sheep in the nearby town ranch farms have been brought to the camp. Rest assured that more than 5,000 sheep will be enough for our generals to eat three roast sheep. ..... "
Baron Huntlick then remembered that Dartmouth County, where the Breot Mountain Corps is now located, is a famous animal husbandry county in the Hicks Kingdom. The hairy goats produced by Maos are easy to breed and have always been a favorite of the people in Wangjing. Carnivorous one. The average farm has a flock of more than one hundred Moos sheep, not to mention those pastures that specialize in raising Moos sheep, and there are one thousand or eight hundred sheep. No wonder that in the morning when the reconnaissance battalion went out, it brought about five thousand woolly sheep.
"Spend a lot of money, you are really a big deal, more than five thousand sheep said to buy it and buy it for soldiers to eat. If this continues, even if there is a Jinshan in your family, you will be ruined." Heng Baron Trik felt unworthy of General Baker's generosity. He swallowed the mutton and took up the wine glass in front of General Baker.
"Oh," General Baker smiled, and poured fruit wine into the wine glass of Baron Huntlick: "Without spending money, we have ordered more than 5,000 sheep ..."
A severe cough sounded, and Baron Huntrick was half-dead with the fruit wine he had just poured into his mouth. He finally stopped the cough, and pointed at General Baker in amazement: "You, what do you say? Bring it, collect it by order? Who, Who gave you the order? "
"Of course, His Majesty King Avitele I. He wrote to me and said that according to the agreement reached between him and your King McKid III, the first legionary army's itinerary needed this journey. The supplies are all provided by your Hicks Kingdom. You must have meat, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits. Unfortunately, you have only provided us with black bread and a little dried fruit during this half-month trip. Right, There is also a piece of dried bacon that is harder than iron stones. This is a reward given to us by your king.
So after I reported the situation, Her Majesty the King gave us a decision to collect military supplies on the spot. Our soldiers are pleased that His Majesty gave this order, and they executed it perfectly. You see, in addition to these five thousand Maos sheep, we have also collected a lot of useful materials. I have to admit that the people of your Hicks Kingdom have a lofty patriotism. After knowing that we are here to help you fight, they even donated their own fortune to my military expenses ... "
General Baker opened a large wooden box beside him, which contained most of the boxes of gold and silver coins and some gold and silver products, such as silver candlesticks, gold cups, dinner plates and the like. Baron Huntlick even saw a golden tooth with blood stains. Obviously the owner of the golden tooth did not seem to be willing to dedicate the golden tooth, otherwise he would at least wash the blood stains.
"Don't!" Both the gold wine glass and the silver dinner plate in Baron Hunter's hand fell to the ground, and he opened his mouth with a finger and smiled at General Baker, who tasted roast lamb: "You, you ... ... how dare you levy military supplies in our kingdom ... "
General Baker looked puzzled: "Why not? Since you are not willing to give it to us, then we will collect it ourselves. This is very normal ..."
Normal ass! Baron Huntrick was desperate. This was not a question of whether he could complete the escorting mission, but that the Breaux Mountain Corps had acted rebelliously under his eyelids! This is simply a slap in the face of the Hicks Kingdom, the power of the northern hegemon! When will a vassal army that assists in the war be able to requisition materials on the territory of Hicks Kingdom? This is the biggest insult to Hicks Kingdom!
Besides, Dartmouth County is adjacent to the Wangjing area. Most of the ranches and farms in this large animal husbandry county are in the name of the kingdom aristocracy. God knows that these Breot Mountain monkeys go out in the morning and take a collection With so many military supplies, forcing those ranchers and farm managers to donate their belongings has offended many kingdom nobles. This is not only the heinous crimes committed by these mountain monkeys, but it has also affected him, the responsible official responsible for the escort.
"You, you are done! Do you know how much sin you have committed? This is not a matter of your legion, it will even affect your Breoit kingdom! The only thing you can do now is to give these expropriated materials immediately The owner paid a satisfactory compensation and immediately sent troops to the front line, so that you might still be able to keep your fate ... "Baron Huntrick yelled in desperation.
"Don't be angry, it's no big deal." General Baker waved lightly: "Go to the front? No, we won't go. Since the people of Dartmouth are so hospitable, so is our Brett First Mountain Corps. We will live up to their good intentions. We will be stationed here to protect them from enemies' persecution and persecution, and we will set up a defensive front. If the troops of that overseas autonomous command zone break through your frontline defense, then we will meet the enemy here s arrival......"
Baron Huntlick felt a little dull, what did it mean? General Baker, the mountain monkey, decided not to leave. What kind of defensive front should he set up to stay here and continue to harm the people in Dartmouth? There are two local counties from the front line. Who do you set up the defensive front for? This is not a blatant rebellion?
"How dare you ..." Baron Huntlick was speechless at General Baker.
"Why don't I dare?" General Baker's face sprang up: "Dear Lord Baron Huntrick, you better enjoy this delicious roast lamb dinner, because this is the last meal of your life ... This way, you are good enough to paint your feet. Do you see the dozen gallows over there? It ’s just for you ... "
On October 16, King Hicks King St. Hipporian.
The magnificent and solemn King Hicks Court resounded the cursing voice of the king of Hicks Kingdom, McKid III. The Honourable Her Majesty has been swearing for nearly half an hour in a row, and all the ministers and nobles standing in Wang Tingli bowed their heads, listening silently to His Majesty's vivacious shout.
Because they got the news this morning, the two Mountain Legions who came to the Kingdom of Breait could not bear the harsh supply treatment that the Kingdom of Hicks treated them, and they all raised the banner of rebellion, a plunder of Dartmouth The United States was named to collect military supplies on the spot and was unwilling to continue to the front line. Instead, it built a defensive front in Dartmouth County and was preparing to station there. The other is advancing towards Wang Jing, and is said to be preparing to plunder the fertile Wang Jing area.
McKid III is furiously preparing to start a new war against the Kingdom of Breot immediately after the war. He vowed that as long as he defeated this offensive by the Autonomous Overseas Command, he immediately declared war on the Kingdom of Breot. This time he must assemble an army to settle the Kingdom of Breot and destroy this ungrateful kingdom, which has always been unruly.
How kind and sincere he was to the Kingdom of Breaot, and helped them free of charge when they were in dire need of help. As a result, these Bryot Mountain monkeys are all white-eyed wolf cubs, and they raised the banner of rebellion at the most critical moment of the Hicks Kingdom. He must put these rebellious frustrations behind, and he will not let go of any one ... ...
"Your Majesty, let's think about how to deal with these two rebel Brett Mountain Legions ..." General Philemons, the director of the Kingdom Army, reluctantly interrupted the revelation of McKid III, He knew very well that if he continued to let His Majesty curse him, it might take another two hours to talk about the business ...
"Send troops to destroy all the rebels! Tell us the heroic sergeants, don't take captives, hang all the dead!" McKid III roared and made a decision to his ministers and generals.
Making a troop decision is simple, but the question is where to send troops and time is too late. General Philemons was very fortunate that the Bryot First Mountain Regiment in Dartmouth was stationed there and did not turn back to Wang Jing. This is most likely that the commander of the First Mountain Corps fainted after eating mutton. He did not expect to join the second Mountain Corps that came after him, and even gave the Hicks Kingdom a good fighter to break up.
McKid III personally ordered that the Solem Standing Regiment, stationed in Rumvo Yorkshire, destroy the Breaux First Mountain Regiment in Dartmouth. The senior officers of the Kingdom Army are very confident that the Solem Standing Legion is one of the powerful standing legions of the Hicks Kingdom and has contributed to the expansion of the Kingdom.
Dealing with a Legion of Monkeys at Breot Mountain is a matter of capture. In particular, these two of the Breot Kingdom are both mountain corps, good at fighting in the mountains. But now the topography of Dartmouth County is plain pasture grassland, mountain monkeys have gone down the mountain, what kind of combat power can be said, I believe that the good news will come in less than three days.
The second Mountain Corps of the abominable Breoit Kingdom is said to be rushing towards Wangjing area. Obviously, they are very aware of the wealth of Wangjing area. If they plunder here, the harvest is comparable to the Hicks Kingdom. In the three local counties, it can be said that the Wangjing area is the essence of the Hicks Kingdom.
Almost all kingdom ministers and aristocrats require the Kingdom Army to take the initiative to send troops to meet the enemy. Do not allow the Breote Monkey Corps to enter the Wangjing area. It can be said that the kingdom's ministers and aristocrats have set up properties in the Wangjing area, and they will never allow their property to fall into the hands of these damned Breot monkeys ...
After several considerations, General Philemons, the director of the Kingdom Army, but his colleagues' urgency and urgency, finally decided to let the Iron Guard Corps staying behind King Jing Saint-Hiprian City take the initiative to destroy the Breote Mountain Monkey Corps. As the Iron Guard Corps of the Hicks Royal Guard, it is the same as the Guard Corps of the Kingdom of Ovilas, claiming that the Hicks Kingdom Corps has the best combat power, and it is natural to deal with a Breaux Mountain Monkey Legion. .
The only problem for the senior officers of the Kingdom Army is that because the victory is in their hands, the nobles and royal children who claim to be brave in Wang Jingli have enthusiastically joined the army and asked to bring their personal armed forces into the attack.
The private armed forces of these nobles gathered together and there was almost a division. General Philemons originally wanted to reduce the attacking division of the Iron Guard Corps. The noble private armed division replaced it, but he was worried about this. The aristocratic private armed divisions were not very reliable. They simply asked McKid III to let them attack together. The big thing is to let the Iron Guard Corps defeat the Breote Mountain Monkey Corps and then let the aristocratic private armed division chase it down. The water dogs should think that they should be good at it ...
On October 19th, the Solem Standing Regiment stationed in Rumvo Yorkshire arrived in Dartmouth County, after a three-hour break and at 4 pm, launched an offensive against the position defended by the First Mountain Regiment of the Kingdom of Breaux, and fierce battle At two o'clock in the middle of the night, he retreated due to heavy casualties.
At 10 am on October 20th, the attacking Iron Guard Corps and aristocratic private armed forces encountered a light raid of the Thunder Corps and the Storm Corps during the march in the Wangjing area, and the army suffered heavy casualties. The Storm Legion besieged King Wang's Saint-Hiprian City at five in the evening, and successfully defeated Wang Jing at eight in the evening.
On the same day, the Breteau First Mountain Regiment in Dartmouth County launched a counterattack at 11 am and engulfed the Solem Standing Legion of the Hicks Kingdom around 3 pm.
